Dave Gorman: Modern Life is Goodish is a British comedy television show broadcast on Dave and presented by Dave Gorman. The series mainly consists of Gorman presenting comedic PowerPoint presentations in which he attempts to argue that modern life is neither bad or good, but "good...". The series began on 17 September 2013, and has had four series. The fourth series began on 8 November 2016. A fifth series has been commissioned to air in late 2017.
Each episode sees Gorman present a stand-up show using PowerPoint, on a particular theme about modern life. Examples include celebrity culture and social media. Each episode features a recurring section called the "Found Poem", in which Gorman reads out a selection of bizarre comments left on news websites, all covering a particular story. Gorman performs the Found Poem with a lone spotlight shining on him, while accompanied by the Billroth String Quartet (Billroth Ensemble from Series 4). The title of each episode comes from a line from the Found Poem.
Series 4 of Modern Life Is Goodish was confirmed on 7 August 2015. The series contained only 6 episodes because Gorman took a break to look after his expected baby. The show began airing on Dave from 8 November 2016.
Series 5 of Modern Life Is Goodish was also confirmed on 7 August 2015 and will air in late 2017 and will contain 8 episodes.
